Submit Notes

The config file option 'submit' was used.
'numactl' was used to bind copies to the cores.
See the configuration file for details.

Operating System Notes

'ulimit -s unlimited' was used to set environment stack size
'ulimit -l 2097152'  was used to set environment locked pages in memory limit

Set transparent_hugepage=never as a boot paramenter in /boot/grub/menu.lst
Set kernel/randomize_va_space=0 in /etc/sysctl.conf

Set vm/nr_hugepages=57344 in /etc/sysctl.conf
Set "nodev       /mnt/hugepages    hugetlbfs   defaults  0 0" in /etc/fstab

Platform Notes

BIOS settings:
 HP Power Profile set to Maximum Performance
 Thermal Configuration set to Increased Cooling
 HPC Optimization set to Enabled
